Reinforced Gabion Mesh for Road Reinforcement and Pavement Crack Control

Reinforced gabion mesh is made of double-twisted hexagonal mesh, selvedge wires, and heavier reinforcement wires. The reinforcement wires are usually thicker than the standard mesh wires to increase overall tensile capacity. According to road project requirements, it can be supplied as continuous rolls or cut into fixed-size panels for use with crushed stone layers, geosynthetics, or compacted backfill.

Reinforced gabion mesh works through interlock and friction between the hexagonal mesh, crushed stone, and soil, forming a flexible composite reinforcement layer. When traffic loads are transferred to the road base, the mesh helps distribute tensile forces, restrain lateral soil movement, and reduce differential settlement, which helps control pavement cracks, potholes, transverse joints, and bridge approach bumps.
